Visited this pub last week for the first time, what a gem. Landlord and the lady behind the bar were fantastic ( I don't think it was his partner) beer great - Kings from Horsham, I did't eat but my friends did and although the prices were high to me ( I'm from Cumbria ) they seemed average for area and food looked very good. Try the Duke of Cumberland at Henley if in the area.

I love the Hollist - the staff are always so friendly and welcoming, the beer is top notch and the food is as good as you can get in these parts. A good old English village pub. What's wrong with it? It's too far away for anything other than an occasional visit.

Wonderful location, right in the centre of the very picturesque village of Lodsworth. It should be a goldmine, but has suffered under various lacklustre landlords over the last 20 years.

Going in there now, it's been dolled up nicely. So have the food prices, however, and frankly the quality doesn't match the expenditure. Last weekend Roast Beef and Roast Chicken were distinctly average 7-quid-with-brown-gravy affairs. Which would have been fine if I hadn't been stiffed 14 quid for a main course.

Bar staff vary from the busineslike to the friendly: however they were very busy for Sunday lunch when I was in.

Beer is the high point. Langham's Halfway to Heaven (a reference to the Halfway Inn down on the A272?) is brewed 300 yeard down the road in a microbrewery. WJ King's is brewed by the King family, of the legendary, and now lost, King and Barnes brewery Family of Horsham. Timmy Taylor's Landlord creditably rounds out the beer for those who don't know that Sussex beer is far superior product to the Yorkshire variety ;-)

I'm going back to the area next week: but I'll be revisiting one of the Lickfold Inn, King's Arms at Fernhurst, Duke of Cumberland at Henley, Three Moles at Selham or Noah's Ark at Lurgashall before Igo back to the Hollist if I want anything more than beer. Location, decor and beer: 8 Welcome and food 4. Overall a 6 I think, cos I care more about BEER

Great pub, very good food, but a little expensive!
A pint of "Halfway to Heaven" was perfectly presented and tasted fine. However I had to ask what was on that beer pump as the clip was missing!! They had had a fire in the bar that destroyed it, among other things. Some beams had been boxed in to hide the blackened parts from view. Our party in the snug was served very competently.

A great pub, one of the best in the South of England! Brilliant service and the food seems to get better each time I visit! Staff are friendly and are very helpful.
